Supernatural “Power Hour” Part 9

Dipper has some slight trauma from weirdmageddon…

Ford: What do you mean, “Who writes sentences like that?”? *He puts a finger to his chin, trying to remember.* Hm, I do recall running out of room and having to write part of it on the next page in my last journal, but… it’s a perfectly sound sentence to me. Besides, what idiot would go into a Gremloblin encounter without reading the advice pages beforehand, and then approaching one?

Stan: Yeah, what knucklehead just does dangerous crap without readin’ the whole instruction, first?

*Dipper, who has been sitting at the living room table in the Shack listening to the Stan brothers respond to the question on their laptop camera, starts to nervously sweat in the corner. Mabel is sitting next to him putting together… some craft amalgamation of glitter and sequins everywhere, sweetly humming.*

Dipper: Y-yeah, you tell ‘em, guys! I mean, come on, yeah, what idiot would just… you know… *The sweating intensifies.* Go into a supernatural encounter and just… not know not to throw water on a Gremloblin? Amateur, am I right? 

Mabel: *Pauses her humming and crafting.* Aw, don’t be embarrassed, Dipper. It’s not like you messed up on purpose with the Gremloblin that day. 

*The room turns silent, except for Mabel continuing her humming. Ford and Stan look at Dipper for an awkward, long pause, and Dipper just sweats more, if that’s even possible.*

Dipper: *Voice cracking.* Oooookay, well… w-what matters is, is we, um… saved the day anyway! And I was the one who figured out the mirror trick to defeat him. The gift shop might have gotten… sort of wrecked, and cost thousands in damages, and it almost killed us, but I figured out a Gremloblin weakness that Grunkle Ford never did. So there.

It’s not that I think Hilda and Dipper wouldn’t get along, I just think Dipper does more reading than exploring, whereas Hilda would want to do the exact opposite. Mabel, however tends to jump into things headfirst and while she and Hilda would definitely bring out the worst in each other, they would have a lot of fun. I can totally see Dipper mentioning something from the journal, spiking Hilda’s curiosity and she and Mabel dragging Dipper into the woods before he can finish his sentence.

Dipper:

A Final Farewell

FINALLY! After months of work, I finally finished. What a strange feeling.
